【Abstract】 The confidence interval of the variance of a normal random variable, obtained by using the traditional method of interval estimation, is obviously not the shortest one, in this sense it is not the best one. For n from 3 to 45 and for α =0 25, 0 20, 0 15, 0 10, 0 05, 0 01, 0 005, we have got Table 1 from which one can easily get the shortest confidence interval. When testing the two\|sided hypothesis on the variance of a normal random variable, the traditional choice of the boundary values is obviously not the best one. For the same values of n and α as above, we have worked out Table 2 that gives us the best choice of the boundary values in some sense. The programs carrying out all the needed computations are written by ourselves.更多还原
